In this morning ritual you will learn with a Wim Hof certified instructor how to use your breath to control your body’s chemistry and benefit from the many health advantages of ice bathing. The Wim Hof Method includes specific breathing techniques that increase oxygen intake and stimulate your body to become more resistant to the cold.
Cold therapy improves both physical and mental health. Bathing in cold water contributes to greater stress resilience and better sleep quality, provides long-term energy, creates mental clarity, and strengthens the immune system. The guided meditation enhances mindfulness and mental focus to reduce stress. Pain can also be alleviated through the learned mental techniques. Learn to draw strength from the cold to redefine your own limits and goals. The experience in nature also has positive effects on general mental well-being.
Improved breath control
The breathing techniques increase oxygen intake, leading to better oxygen supply to your cells.
Strengthening of the immune system
Studies have shown that the method can activate the immune system and reduce inflammatory responses in the body.
Increased cold tolerance
Regular exposure to cold can improve the body’s ability to tolerate cold and promote circulation.
Reduction of stress and anxiety
The combination of breathing and meditation can help reduce stress and improve overall quality of life.
Pain relief
Some users report increased pain tolerance and better ability to cope with chronic pain.
Increased energy and performance
The method can boost energy levels and enhance physical performance.
Promotion of mental clarity
Mindfulness practices can improve concentration and focus.
Regulation of the autonomic nervous system
The method can help improve control over the autonomic nervous system, which influences various physiological processes.
In approximately two hours, you will get a brief introduction into the Wim Hof Method and the underlying breathing exercises before taking the ice bath. After subsequent warm-up exercises, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. Overcome your limits and find new strength that will carry into your daily life.
